Cross-coupling reactions of differently substituted 4-chlorocoumarins were studied under palladium catalysis using triarylbismuths as threefold arylating reagents. The high reactivity of 4-chlorocoumarins was demonstrated delivering mono- and bis-arylation products in a chemo-selective manner. The reaction conditions employed are simple, robust and the threefold coupling reactivity of triarylbismuth reagents was witnessed with good to high yields in 2-4 h conditions. The utility of the methodology was explored in the synthesis of a few natural occurring neoflavones (3.27-3.30). In addition, the 4-arylcoumarin 3.1 product is a useful precursor for the preparation of (R)-tolterodine.
